provides module programming for development, end-of-line testing and re-programming. This document shows the general procedures for purchasing, installingand using the OEM programming application with the VSI-2534 Pass-Thru device.Because the procedures are generic in nature, this may not capture every screen orevery scenario for each and every vehicle. For any screen, read the directions on thescreen and proceed as indicated. Programming is vehicle specific and directions mayvary. All documentation is subject to change at any time. Any and all OEMdocumentation should be read in its entirety along with the vehicle Service Manual priorto programming.

The VSI-2534 is also useful for vehicle diagnostics, development, general design, and
